Alright, my girlfriend's having trouble with the aforementioned problem, and I figured I'd see if anyone here knew how to fix it. Here's the problem in question:

I have a website using frames. I use a .css stylesheet for the whole site, and I wanted to change the colors of the scrollbar. So I put the attributes where I read to put them: in the Body tag, for which I specified in the stylesheet.

for that part. However, when I go to test it, nothing happens to the scrollbar. Iím thinking, since a <body> tag isnít used for making a frameset, the attributes for the scrollbar wonít present themselves on the site. But that doesnít make sense, since every other attribute I specified for the body, such as bg color and font color, in the stylesheet does work on the site. Every page on the site is linked to the stylesheet. Whereís the problem? Iíve tried putting the attributes in the external stylesheet, and in an internal stylesheet for the index. Hereís my site so far:

I will not go into detail about how this is an IE only hack and that these properties are NOT standard. You are missing the last semicolon on the last line. I believe you need to say body and/or frameset, since that is where the scroll is located (in a frame).

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Regardless, she was looking at the source of a site that uses frames and has a custom scrollbar, and in their CSS they have the coding right where you told her to put it, and it works for them.

So I guess the question is, is there anything ELSE that could be the source of the problem?

EDIT: I can probably provide you with any information you need to locate the source of the problem. Of course I know you have you own life and probably can't sit around trying to figure out my girlfriend's problem all day, but if you do know of a way that could make it work, I would really appreciate it. She seems set on what she's doing now, so unless she absolutely cannot fix it, I think she plans to stick with it.

Oh yeah, I actually gave that to her a few days ago, but I don't think she used it. I'll recommend it to her later, and then maybe try to move her off frames if they're really as bad as you guys say they are.

Code

<div id="scrolling_div">
Hello, you are reading what is in the div. When the box is full of content, a scroll bar appears and lets you scroll. It doesn't use frames or link to any other sheets, unless of course, you are using a style sheet.
